apiblaze@0.20.46
APIblaze CLI — Chat with your APIs, Manage your API keys, users and groups with the APIblaze serverless proxy
AI Security Review
scanned 2mo ago · by lpm-firewall-aiThe package has no registry-install lifecycle hook or covert automatic trigger, so a malicious verdict is not supported. Its explicit setup commands nevertheless alter agent/project control surfaces and proxy credential-bearing traffic.
Static reason
High-risk behavior combination matched malicious policy.
Trigger
The user runs apiblaze init or sidecar setup, or uses apichat with --install-mcp codex.
Impact
A user-installed sidecar can redirect application traffic and credentials; MCP setup can grant an external API server agent-tool access.
Mechanism
Project and agent configuration mutation plus fetch interception and proxy forwarding.
AI rationale
The package has no registry-install lifecycle hook or covert automatic trigger, so a malicious verdict is not supported. Its explicit setup commands nevertheless alter agent/project control surfaces and proxy credential-bearing traffic.

Decision evidence
public snapshotAI called this Suspicious at 90.0% confidence as Dangerous Capability with low false-positive risk.
Evidence for warning
- An explicit CLI option installs an API proxy as an external agent MCP server without an additional prompt.
- The CLI writes MCP settings containing an API-key header into the Codex configuration file.
- The sidecar replaces application fetch destinations with service-supplied routes and forwards request bodies and any existing x-api-key.
- The explicit sidecar setup command modifies the consumer project and can run a package-manager install.
Evidence against
- package.json has no preinstall, install, or postinstall hook; its only lifecycle hook is prepublishOnly.
- The risky operations are reached through named CLI setup and MCP-install commands, not package installation or import alone.
- The network hosts and proxy behavior are aligned with the package's stated API-proxy function.
